‘Hypocritical!’: Harry and Meghan’s cry for security won’t wash

In Friday’s episode of The Royal T, Camilla Tominey and Hannah Furness discuss the latest development in the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s battle for taxpayer-funded security after they issued a statement criticising “extraordinarily reckless” paparazzi who were attempting to take photographs of Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

Our presenters debate whether their public criticism will help or hinder their case while their security status Ravec, the Home Office committee responsible for royal and VIP security, reviews their case. Camilla and Hannah also look at how the Prince and Princess of Wales reacted to a similar level of photographer intrusion in 2015, and how Kensington Palace reacted at the time.

Elsewhere, Camilla and Hannah discuss Earl Spencer’s attack on the King, whose response to claims in his book the Earl labelled “very aggressive” in a new interview with Tina Brown.
